| A | B |
| arithmetic sequence | numerical pattern that increases or decreases at a constant rate or value |
| constant | a monomial that is a real number |
| constant of variation | the number k in equations of the form y=kx |
| direct variation | an equation of the form y=kx, where k is not = to zero |
| linear equation | an equation in the form Ax+By=C, with a graph that is a straight line |
| parent function | the simplest of functions in a family |
| rate of change | how a quantity is changing with respect to a change in another quantity |
| root | the solutions of a quadratic equation |
| slope | the ratio of the change in the y-coordinates (rise) to the corresponding change in the x-coordinates (run) as you move from one point to another along a line |
| standard form | (of a linear equation) is where Ax+By=C, where A is greater than or = to zero, A & B are not both zero, and A,B, and C are integers with greatest common factor of 1 |
| term | a number, a variable or a product or quotient of numbers and variables |
| x-intercept | the x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x-axis |
| y-intercept | the y-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the y-axis |
| arithmetic sequence | difference between successive terms is constant |
